Cortana is much more than just a piece of voice software, bringing true personal assistance to a smartphone. The user interface is more intuitive than others and you can always find everything in the notebook. Cortana is not all business either and like Siri she has a bit of an attitude with personal interaction that makes Cortana enjoyable to use.
You can perform all of the traditional functions with Cortana, such as make phone calls, text people, add appointments, take notes, play music, get directions, check the weather, and much more. In addition there is location, time, and person awareness for reminders.
As you can see, Cortana is quite smart and the more you use her the better she gets. Make sure to visit the Microsoft Cortana website to see everything she can do for you. This is the kind of technology I always wanted where the phone works for you and makes things more efficient rather than more cumbersome.
I could probably put together a list of 60 things I like doing with Cortana, but let's just take a look at six things for now.
